877-455-6887

this is a scam.........people beware. THIS MAN CHARGED MY CREDIT CARD 199.00 AND WILL NOT RETURN MY CALL. THE PRODUCT HE SOLD ME WAS A SCAM.

They posted on craigslist.com, but was removed: http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/apa/587588349.html

It's for this website: http://www.orangefuture.com/

The name they gave was Derek Stewart with the phone number 310-500-5169

I stumbled across an add on craigslist too, and talked with the same guy, DEREK STEWART.  The house looked great, but IT IS A SCAM!!!!  Beware!  NEVER give your credit card number and CHARGES ****$199**** JUST TO LOOK at a property.  That is ridiculous.  His website orangefuture.com or derekorangefuture.com asks for the same thing.  Don't trust it, or him.

Hey everyone the other people are right, I called the 877 number on craigs list someone name Nadia asked for my personal and credit card information. I felt strange giving out my card number so I told her I didn't have it and would call back. I called back and spoke to a Tabatha who was rude and I told her why would I give $199 up front to get a home without proof of if they can provide the service listed. She directed me to the orangefuture website and I googled the address and then phone number gave me your messages. The representatives have personal cell phone numbers for return calls with various area codes. Main warning nothing is listed as one main number. Tabatha stated she was in another state working from home next warning untraceable. Wow! Don't trust this the main address on site is fake you can't verify it. They need to remove this from craig's list before it gives the website a bad image.

I called this number and got customer service line they were very helpful about the company.

"helpful about the company" is not the same as being a reputable firm who regularly delivers the goods/services promised.  I am an escrow officer for a major title company and have been investing in real estate for 20 years.  I spoke with Doug and the claims he made are simply not possible in the world of real estate which I know and deal in.  When I questioned him about certain specifics, he either backed away from prior statements, or added additional info which changed the nature of what he was previously claiming is possible.  Either way, I'm still waiting for someone to step forward with a success story.  I have yet to see a posting by someone with something positive to say....why???

I sighned up for the orangefuture.com website back in febuary and I just got into my new home about 2 weeks ago. It was easy to get into the home I didnt even have to put a down payment.  I give orange future 2 thumbs up.

I got ripped off too! I didnt authorize any charge of $200! Im going to orange future where there address is and Im going to demand my money back! Im also going to the better business beurau! Bad things happen to bad companies! They messed with the wrong guy! How can they sleep at night knowing they rip off people everyday all day long?

You are the only one in dozens of searches that I ran that has anything good to say about this company.  Why don't you share a little more details about your experience, like: How many houses did you go through before you found this one?  Who holds the mortgage?  What type of mortgage do you have?What was the closing like?  etc?

I was on hold for 15 minutes then someone answered who had no idea what property I was talking about from craigs list but insisted that it was available.  THEN he demanded my CC information after getting email info and address and when I said no, he got defensive and said "well that just isnt how we work".  I am so glad that I found this site shortly after the call.

I fell for this scam.  I found them on craigslist and called. Although upon paying I was told I could cancel anytime for a full refund.  After I joined, was I led to the terms on their website saying I could only cancel within ONE DAY of joining.  Apparently, now it's too late to get a refund.  I called them to confront them on how these terms were not given to me upon payment over the phone and was told my initial phone call will be reviewed.  IS THERE ANY LEGAL ACTION I CAN TAKE???

So what happened after you paid?  Did they try to get you into a house?

You give them 2 thumbs up because you probably work for them. Shame on you too.

The minute I saw online that this company was bad news, i lost all interest in using their services (that and any additional house search beyond your first costs $99 PER SEARCH), so i'm concentrating primarily on getting my money back.  Also, they never returned my call like they said (as if i could trust them less now).  I did do the initial property search, in which there were no pictures of the properties.  I asked specifically if they provided them and they said they did.  This was important to me as I'm 2,000 miles from these properties.  So yes I used their services once, but they were not what I was led to believe they were.  My bank will be filing a dispute tomorrow.  If anyone knows what else I can do besides warn everyone else and have a slim chance of getting refunded, any advice is appreciated

I called orangefuture.com a few months back, when I joined up they told me all of the information about the program. I then immediately sighned up and gave out my credit card information for the membership fee of $199. After I was billed I thaught the website was not as well "formatted" as it could be but I gave it a shot. I found a home in santa barbara california, a three bedroom two bathroom home so I immediately jumped on the property. It took around 3 days to get a response from the financing department to set up a walkthough on the property and they gave me all of the in depth details about the property. The home appraised for about $290,000 and since they only deal with homes with 25% or more equity in the home I got it for 215,000 wich is a steal in this neighborhood. Then we set up the loan, I wasn't sure how the whole proscess worked but they set me up for a loan for $215,000  and I paid off the existing mortgage and then it was just a quick claim deed. Now I would not say im in the home of my dreams or anything but it's a good FU*&ing start!

I fell for thid scam as well. I gave them my credit card for the initial amount of $199. They never call me back> i plan to call the FBI on this one ASAP after I get off work. You've messed with the wrong woman.

I had my real estate guy investigate these orange future people.  My real estate guy told me it sounded fishy, but what could it hurt?  So I gave them my credit card number, and they charged me.  All was good until today, when I found your complaint, along with a few others.  Plus there web site can no longer be displayed!!!!  So, I think I got screwed too, and it sounded so awesome too.  But like my husband and my realator guy said "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is."   huge bummer.   On a good note, I was told by a friend that we can call our credit card companies and submit a fraud claim.  We should be able to get our money back.     Good Luck!!!!!!!!

well i saw the add on craiglist for birmingham al a house of my dreams. ive been in sales for yrs so first i ask is this house still up on the market for 650. she answer yes, she said she could should more houses in the same area and same range of money...which i thought weird da...than i said why would i give your company 199 bucks if you have a house you should show them for free....hello...she than replied that i would get the first month free on morgage..cost of the titel seach and bunch of other stuff she raddle on...i said still shouldnt have to pay to see this property...i said where is it she said i cant give out the address it going to be in forclose in next 90 days..i said well ok just give me the town it is in i only want a house in a certain neighbor hood. she name mt spring i said ok well give your name and phone number just in case my husband wants to see these propertys. she said sure my name is ann no last name and gave me a phone number that is no exist or must be a cell number310-715-9065 mean while i went and search all over internet for this company and phone number because how do they know property our going in to forclose unless they have a tied with banks..i would never give money out to just see property and i went to there site and it said in fine print 1 day to refund money..she told me if i didnt find anything she would refund the money....
a rule i do even if i think its greate i still do my homework...boy the house she show get you all fired up...but if deal is great it wil be there

always do your home work the google can save you lots of money...in the long run...i think everyone that got screw should get a long list and fill it in court.maybe than scam can stop.

All I wanted was to see some houses.  I asked "Derrek Stewart" if I would be charged anything,...cause I didn't have the money, and he said no....that the 199.00 was just a move-in fee (when you were actually moving in)  The 199.00 was taken out of my account that same night.  Called...left a message, then called again the next morning.  Was on hold for 30 minutes (waiting for the next representative)  and when it finally got to me, I got the voicemail.  Hmmm  So email your friends, tell everyone you know that is looking for a house...STAY AWAY FROM ORANGE FUTURE AND DERREK STEWART.  FAKE FAKE FAKE

I am sooooooo glad I ran into this.,...
